so this becomes a song



so this is new year’s

and what have you

hung over?

shall we have

pork and sauerkraut?

a pretzel

or a pickle?

this is new year’s

and what we done?

it’s only been a day

we protest

not even that

but some of you are there

helping others

serving food

an arm around a shoulder

sending vibes of love

because it’s really love

we can do that

now

no waiting

no line

and if a line

(you know air travel,

certain movie tickets)

then

loving in line,

a happy

if not always chortling

new year

(a hangover is referenced, which may not translate well; a hangover is a state of drunkenness, especially in the morning after too much drinking of alcoholic drinks during the night before)

huevos nuevos



it's next year here and there

already

have a happy

to say

knowing that the challenges

also here and there

are many

deep

and difficult

but find a way

we shall

or can

by saying to ourselves

to this at that

or to someone else

I need your help



a new year

(in solar terms)

try it

love it

have it
